If you use v0.951b, you do not have to worry about doing this...select 'ROM Folder vs Listinfo (M.A.M.E.)' as a 'List Generation Method' from the 'List Generation Settings' within 'Emulator Settings' - it will do it for you :)

Hit '1' when you see 'ROM Folder vs DAT File' - it should cycle onto 'ROM Folder vs Listinfo (M.A.M.E.)'.  If it goes back to 'ROM Folder Only', then I think you have v0.95b?
